BACKGROUND: Family history (FH) of cardiovascular (CV) disease is a known CV risk factor. However, it is rarely considered for CV risk stratification. Furthermore, FH for metabolic diseases is generally overlooked.
AIM: To evaluate, in a population of men with erectile dysfunction (ED), whether FH for cardio-metabolic diseases could provide insights into metabolic and sexual features and predict the occurrence of forthcoming major adverse CV events (MACE).
METHODS: A consecutive series of 4,693 individuals (aged 51.3 ± 13.3 years) attending an Andrology outpatient clinic for ED was studied. A subset of these (n = 1,595) was evaluated retrospectively for MACE occurrence.
OUTCOMES: Several metabolic and sexual function-related parameters were studied. For the retrospective study, information on an incident MACE was collected over a mean follow-up of 4.2 ± 2.5 years.
RESULTS: A greater number of cardio-metabolic FH factors were associated with a worse metabolic profile, including higher waist circumference, triglycerides, glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and diastolic blood pressure, as well as lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. An increased number of FH factors were associated with worse erectile function (odds ratio = 1.14[1.07;1.23], P < .0001), impaired penile dynamic peak systolic velocity, and lower testosterone levels. In the retrospective study, a positive cardiometabolic FH was associated with a significantly higher incidence of MACEs, even after adjusting for age and comorbidities (hazard ratio = 1.51[1.06-2.16], P = .023). Interestingly, when dividing the sample into high- and low-risk categories according to several CV risk factors (age, previous MACEs, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and comorbidities), FH was confirmed as a predictor of incident MACE only among the low-risk individuals.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Investigating FH for cardio-metabolic diseases is a quick and easy task that could help clinicians in identifying, among individuals with ED, those who deserve careful evaluation of CV and metabolic risk factors. Moreover, considering FH for CV risk stratification could predict MACEs in individuals who, according to conventional CV risk factors, would be erroneously considered at low risk.
STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS: The large sample size and the systematic collection of MACEs through an administrative database, with no risk of loss at follow-up, represent strengths. The use of administrative database for MACE collection may lead to some misclassifications. The specific population of the study limits the generalizability of the results.
CONCLUSION: FH is simple and inexpensive information that should be part of the CV risk assessment in all men with ED because it helps in the identification of those who need lifestyle and risk factor modifications and whose risk would otherwise be overlooked.
